Taipei, June 14 (CNA) A recent article published on the CNNGo online travel news website carries a list titled "40 Taiwanese foods we can't live without," which is topped by braised pork rice and beef noodles.

The author Hiufu Wong describes Taiwanese food as a mash-up of the cuisines of various Chinese communities, along with elements of Japanese cuisine.

Including many local snacks on her list, Wong said "small eats" are the big thing in Taiwan, where the philosophy is eat often and eat well.

"Every time you think you've found the best streetside bao, the most incredible stinky tofu stand or mind-blowing beef noodle soup, there's always another one that surpasses it," she said.
